Joe Judge lit up when I asked him about Brycen Sanders’ block that defined Ole Miss’ Sugar Bowl win:

“He did a great job in that moment of not doing something selfish and taking a shot on somebody and really protected the team.”

Long post incoming on Lane Kiffin that many of you are sure to hate…

After watching Lane’s exit to LSU, my overriding feeling is that this was a fork in the road and the result was sad.

First a confession, in October I began to believe we were witnessing Lane 3.0 and the arrival of the sport’s next championship coach.

I think this process got away from Lane, and he lost sight of the fact that this is the point. The point of the job is to get into a spot where your team is 11-1 and playing for championships

In the last year, he shared a lot about trying to better himself and the ways in which he found happiness by not being driven by selfishness

The stakes in this business are as large as the salaries. Far be it from me to critique anyone for liking attention, but to truly be a championship coach at this level you have to eat a bowl of shit every now and then. You have to let the public believe a lie or a partial truth sometimes in order to protect your players or assistant coaches.

If you believe the reporting around Kiffin’s exit, then much of the messiness centered around his inability to understand why Ole Miss could never allow him to coach the team through the playoffs and become the head coach at LSU. There are a thousand good reasons why the optics of that would amount to Ole Miss looking inferior, but even in Lane’s interviews today he chose to tell us that Keith Carter “has to live here” and he chose to skirt responsibility for his own actions by citing what Pete Carroll told him to do or what Nick Saban told him to do instead of admitting that to be courted and paid attention to is what Lane Kiffin wanted.

To me, that feels like a cop out. This didn’t just happen to him.

Interviews he game to ESPN earlier this year showed that he had an awareness around the mistakes he made leaving Tennessee and Alabama. He identified his tendency to self sabotage. This time he blew up a situation where he had innovative NIL support at a school who gave him everything he wanted (to the point of making his dog a de facto mascot) and embraced his quirks... While sitting at 11-1 on the verge of the CFP!

The problem is that it will be hard to ever truly take him at face value again. One rocky exit might be bad circumstances, and two might be a coincidence. When you get to the third, the common denominator is clear.

After today, I don’t think there will ever be a truly happy ending for Lane. He may win big at LSU, but at some point those same feelings of discontentment will arise. Instead of becoming an Ole Miss legend who broke paradigms in college football’s new era, he is likely to become a brilliant offensive mercenary with a brash attitude.

There will be a lot more bowls put in front of him in Baton Rouge than there ever were in Oxford. Maybe he will consume them and become the type of organizational leader that can sustainably compete for the sport’s biggest prizes.

Some may no longer take some of Lane’s previous public comments about his personal journey at face value, but I believe he believes them, and I think that is the tragic part. He might understand the lessons from past stops, but it’s hard to look at how all this played out and feel like he applied them.

Whether that makes you see him as detestable or relatable is up to each of you and your own individual experiences.

[Jennifer Bowman @JBow2009]

@Johnny_Joey @Lane_Kiffin @OleMissFB Not a good take. Basically the boys earned it and should get their shot. Hell they may end up winning the whole thing to send the ultimate FU to kiffin.

[Jennifer Bowman @JBow2009]

@18handicap @LisaMarieBoothe @FoxNews @IngrahamAngle Bye Billy..! Even news anchors know this was a crap decision by LK @Lane_Kiffin

[Jennifer Bowman @JBow2009]

@IngrahamAngle Because he wants to still look like the good guy. The guy that was all about finding his true self and not focusing on money and the chase. But that story line has aged like whole milk. And he looks like a class a narcissist with no loyalty in him at all.

[Jennifer Bowman @JBow2009]

@ArjunRao999 @jakepaul Team leadership said no - that’s HIS narrative. Not theirs.

[Jennifer Bowman @JBow2009]

It would be a storied end to an amazing season that sadly ended in a soap opera style saga due to a coach that wanted what was in HIS interests over the team’s… @Lane_Kiffin I was first on board the lane train but I’m stepping off now

Is Ole Miss America’s Team? 🇺🇸

I have a feeling Ole Miss fans are about to be as locked in as ever to this program.

It didn’t have to get so messy. It didn’t need to be this ugly.

But Lane Kiffin is Lane Kiffin. And apparently he hasn’t changed much after all.

Ole Miss has twice as many 11 win seasons as LSU since 2012.
